FREEBIE DETAILS
EARLY BIRD SPECIAL - FIRST 48 HOURS Jump in during the first 48 hours and boom, free print lands in your cart automatically! Everyone gets to choose between keeping it digital, getting it unsigned, or throwing us an extra $10 to have Steve sign it. These are letter-size prints (8.5 x 11 inches) that come protected in a bag and board. And yeah, when we say signed, we mean Steve actually puts pen to paper, no stamps or autopen nonsense.
STICKER PARTY AT 100 SHARES Okay, true confession time. This was supposed to be just for our launch party, but we didn’t hit our goal, so guess what? Everyone gets a shot at it now! Share the campaign and when we hit 100 shares total, everyone who’s pledge when we hit it and is getting physical rewards mailed to them scores a free sticker. Community power, baby!
COMPLETE YOUR SURVEY FAST, GET ANOTHER PRINT Here’s our thank you for not making us chase you down for your info. Fill out your survey when we send it and we’ll hook you up with another print! Same deal as the early bird one. Pick digital, unsigned, or upgrade to signed for $10. Comes bagged and boarded because we’re not monsters who let prints get bent in the mail.
THE BIG ONE - FREE COMMISSION DRAWING This is totally new and we’re pretty excited about it! We’re running daily Nexus trivia in our community tab for the whole 3-week campaign. Here’s the best part: you get points just for playing along. Don’t know the answer? Guess anyway! Wrong answers still count because we just want you hanging out with us. Check the community tab for the leaderboard and see where you stand. The winner gets a black and white marker commission worth $449.99, but if you want to upgrade to something bigger or in a different medium, just ask and we’ll work something out.

What do you charge for USA shipping
USA shipping will be $10-15 depending on the final weight of the book. This covers new boxes, shipping (we usually ship ground, not media), credit card and paying the kid down the street to fold 1,000 boxes and pack your order!
We don’t like outsourcing and Lynn is a stickler with packing. We had ONE damaged package last campaign out of the 600 we mailed and it was literally run over by a truck.
All packages are fully insured and if there’s any damage contact us right away.

What if my package gets damaged?
We invest over $2,000 per project in quality packaging materials because we want your stuff to arrive perfect. But if something goes wrong in transit, contact us immediately—we’ll work with you to get a replacement sorted.

International Shipping Breakdown
We want to ensure you receive your rewards safely and affordably. Here’s a breakdown of our shipping policies:
Personalized Shipping: For the most accurate and fair pricing, we calculate shipping costs individually based on the weight of your order using USPS rates.

If unforeseen additional costs arise, we will contact you directly to discuss the best options. We appreciate your understanding.

Pay over Time (Split Payments)
https://help.backerkit.com/article/805-pay-over-time
Backers who select Pay Over Time will pay their balance in four monthly payments, beginning after the campaign ends. No additional fees or interest will be applied to your order. Subsequent payments will be charged monthly (note: some payments may be slightly delayed if they land on weekends or holidays).
Payments are automatic, and you can update your payment method before future charges. If a payment fails, it will retry 7 days later. If unresolved, the balance will be added to the next scheduled charge.
You will not be able to access the pledge manager survey until after you have paid in full.

What happens after the campaign ends?
Once the campaign wraps, you’ll get a survey in about 14 days. Fill it out, and we’ll be cranking away while you wait.
Pro tip: complete your survey quickly for that free print!

Refund Policy
As a rule, we don’t do refunds—crowdfunding helps us pay for printing upfront, so that money goes to work right away. That said, we’re human beings, not robots. If something unusual comes up, reach out and talk to us. We handle things case by case and always try to be fair. The good news? Everything we ship is fully insured. If your package gets lost or damaged, we’ve got you covered with a replacement. Just let us know and we’ll make it right.

What do you charge for USA shipping?
We charge weight based, calculated when you check out. The estimated fee for this campaign is $10 based on it’s anticipated 2 pound weight which includes shipping, full insurance and new packing materials. See the end of the campaign story for further details.
Please note that our oversized posters ship separately in a tube, but multiple may be ordered for one flat rate.

Why is my shipping so high?
If you do not have a country added to your checkout you will be charged the highest fee until that is entered. Once your country is added you will see the correct fee. If you believe the shipping is still too high please contact us at [email protected] and we will review your order.
Please note that what is charged we aim to include all insurance, duties and taxes. We did raise shipping fees, but we hope to not have to circle back for duties and customs.
To save money consider getting together with a few friends. We are happy to ship to a single address and split the shipping costs so a single order of $55 could be $18 split 3 ways! Or ask your retailer if they want to place a wholesale order or be a drop off point which would also save you shipping fees.

Where do I get my downloads?
We distribute digital rewards post campaign via BackerKit. You still need to complete checkout to receive your rewards as this verifies you email. NOTE: If you log in using APPLE and HIDE your email address you WILL NOT receive any post campaign updates as Apple blocks them. Please unlock your email or email us via Kickstarter private message with your correct email. You are never added to a mailing list, we use the email strictly for updates, checkout instructions, and shipped notifications.

Current Estimated Shipping Date: December 2025
Books are due in house around December 8th and we will start shipping right away. You will receive tracking when your item ships.
Last Updated At: 11/19/25What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
Shipping Terms and Conditions:
Shipping Estimates: All shipping costs provided are estimates only. Actual shipping costs may vary based on factors including weight, dimensions, destination, and any unforeseen circumstances (e.g., fuel surcharges, carrier rate increases).
Separate Poster Shipping: Posters will be shipped separately from other rewards to ensure safe delivery. This may result in separate shipping charges for posters.
International Shipping:
- Minimum Fee: A minimum fee will be applied to all international orders.
- Shipping Options: Backers of international orders will be presented with a range of shipping options to choose from, allowing them to select the most cost-effective method for their location.
Potential for Additional Fees:
- Crowdfunding Platform Fees: The crowdfunding platform may charge additional fees, such as platform usage fees or payment processing fees. These fees will be outlined within the campaign's funding page.
- Unexpected Shipping Costs: In some cases, unforeseen circumstances (e.g., carrier rate increases, fuel surcharges, customs duties) may result in additional shipping costs. If these costs arise, they will be communicated to backers through the campaign's updates and may be added to the original pledge amount.
REHOMING ITEMS
We understand that life happens. We will hold you order for 90 days past end of campaign. If you fail to check out or pay for shipping before then we will edit your order to digital only and rehome your physical items with ComicBooks for Troops.
